In need of a Midland brake booster for a 73 Duster with front disc/rear drum. Midland has a clamp ring around it and Bendix has a crimped housing.
Thanks and be safe out there, Jack

OEM brakes on a 73 Duster. Power brakes not acting like they should. What should be the adjustment setting be for the push rod? Booster checks out, vacuum and valve is fine.
Just need to do a final check on the gap for the rod. I’ve seen where the gap should be .020″, just not sure if this is correct.
Thanks and be safe out there. Jack

On my third valve now. Every PCV I have used last for a short time (500 miles) before it begins to produce a whine noise.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s an OEM one or aftermarket.
Any insight?

Did Plymouth ever offer a 340 six pack in any Duster as a factory option?

Looking to swap out my TQ for another type of carb. Anyone out there have any direct replacement ideas, Holley vs Edelbrock? Plug and play, not looking to modify linkages.

The engine is a ’70 340 with stock spread bore manifold, bored 40 over with Keith Black KB243-040 Hypereutectic Flat Top Pistons and a Comp Cam CL20-210-2. Not for racing, too old now just for cruising around.

Thanks for your input, Jack

Maybe a dumb question, does the transmission need to be held up with a jack if the motor is out? Need to move the car around with motor out.
